they fit the SH. i got mine for $350, front and rear from http://www.redlyne.com

edit: seems redlyne has changed to Pole Position Products, and no longer carries parts for Preludes.

They have been sadly discontinued. You have to buy them used or get lucky. I think they were discontinued a year ago or some such thing. My friend has them and has been meaning to get rid of them, if you give him a good offer Im sure he will sell. Anyway good luck.

Mine should be coming in tomorrow. I got them from www.randdmotorsports.com A few days ago they made a thread saying they have 15 sets left. Either email them or contacr username *FAST4DR* if you want them. If I'm not terribly impressed with them I'll probably sell mine in a little while - if you can't get your hands on a set keep that in mind

yes, it would fit...the SH's strut mounting points aren't any different.

I wouldn't get eh spoon bars unless they are the same price or less than the neuspeed. I think w/the spoon you are just paying for the name.

From what I heard DC bars are garbage. Here is a link to see what the spoons look like. http://www.ntpog.org/reviews/spoon/spoon.shtml

unfortunately, Spoon is one of the few bands that makes a front AND rear bar for the 97+ prelude that is of decent quality and strength.

I put them on today and the car feels more stable in turns. Body roll is noticably reduced. I drove around a bit with only the rear one in and the car had more of a tendency to oversteer, but with both of them on its more stable all around.

Call Dave at R&D Motorsports. The Spoon bars were discontinued until Dave got enough Prelude owners together to pre-order to convince Spoon to do another prodution run. Most of the bars were pre-sold, but he still has a handful of sets left. They are in stock and ready to ship. But once R&D sells them out, the Spoon bars are gone...

Although I wouldnt trade and wouldnt buy another front bar I really think the Neuspeed bar is better. The design of the Spoon bar leave a little to be desired for functionality but in terms of looks there's non better IMHO.
